Palace potentially denied entry to Europa League?

Steady on. This was a sports article and typically BBC only tend to print when more concrete outside of their general opinion pieces or gossip column.

Extreme as the point was it was a reasonable point made that the BBC cannot be trusted to get their research correct on a topic that is a thousand times more important and serious than this one.
The 'someone told me so it must be true, lets report it so we can be first' before corroborating and checking is not just unforgivable. its irresponsible. For that reason I personally have not paid any attention to the BBC for a few years now.
But I have drifted off topic I apologise. Back to the will we/wont we? debate.....

Great idea Hrolf but apparently Textors value is £300m therefor we need £150m to buy him out.
I believe we will be in Europe legitimately.

I'm not suggesting that it will necessary or cheap.
If it came to that, we would have to weigh the value of being in Europe against the potential cost, assuming that the funds could be raised.

There's really no point in serious speculation other than for the sake of conversation.

Are you Sarf Norwood reborn, you haven't a clue, have you ever run a business, its the norm of any Administrator to check any changes in the Criteria for any competition that you hope to enter, and if we had done that then all would be sorted, do you and Nello go to the same club?

You see this is where you become an embarrassment to yourself and all those that care about you. Yes I do run a successful business. Have done since 1996.
FYI you obviously DONT know a thing about running a business because it is not up to me to seek out criteria but for the client to provide me with it. Doughnut. I'm not going to explain further because your bigoted little 'I'm always right' brain will put up adolescent arguments that will only embarrass you further.
You're welcome.

UEFA cannot stop multi club ownership.

So what their rules do is pretend it doesn't exist.

Putting shares in a Blind Trust on the previous deadline date of 1st June, now moved to 1st March for some inexplicable reason, is their method of pretence. It's naive in the extreme if they believe that the majority shareholders of any given club that has gone down that route will then cease to have an influence on that club while the shares are in that trust. But it makes the problem go away.

If that original 1st June deadline had been retained, Palace wouldn't have an issue. Moving it to 1st. March made it impossible for Palace to comply with that date ( although some on here think we should just go down the Blind Trust route every season - just in case 🙄).

The rule is a nonsense made worse by a ridiculous deadline.

I agree, having some experience with running my own business 😉, I can tell you with a decent contracts lawyer it would take less than a week to place shares in trust or 'freeze' them. That being the case I dont see why UEFA couldn't move their deadline to a much more realistic date. Say Early April for all top 6 clubs with a high possibility of qualifying for Europe and maybe extending it to early May for clubs like Palace that have no real certainty that they'll even qualify in the first place.

Look, apologies to you if I came across that way. It’s just my frustration coming out as I genuinely can’t see the feasibility in what you are suggesting . So if Parish and Co had “ discussions “ what strategy do you think they could employ ? Force Textor to sell his shares ? - he already wants to. Ask him to put them in a Blind Trust for the season ? Highly unlikely he would agree to that .

I don’t accept your insurance analogy - the Palace issue is far more complex.

Just a point hear for those who dont understand (as I know a bit about running a business 😉) It is not possible to sell shares while they are frozen or in trust. Well it is but no one would want to buy them. So why would Textor do that if he is trying to sell? Answer: At a point where we have never won a cup he isn't going to is he?

A very good point. Putting your shares in a blind trust means you lose all control over them presumably for 1 year. With Textor doing the hokey cokey (in / out) it made no sense for him to do that.

His hand may now be forced.

Well that is exactly how a blind trust doesn't work.
